There was one big and one small figure.
Yesseca was shocked.
She let out a cry of surprise.
The lights in the corridor were voice activated.
Therefore, as soon as Yesseca called out, the lights turned on.
Yesseca could see clearly who the two figures in front of her were.
An adult and a child. It was Tremaine and Montez.
Yesseca was rendered speechless.
She patted her heart and said, "Are you guys trying to scare me in the middle of the night by acting as ghosts?"
Truly, it was really frightening for them to stand still there so late in the night.
Neither Tremaine nor Montez spoke.
Only now did Yesseca realize that both their expressions were a little dark.
Especially Tremaine, he was gloomy as if he had been surrounded by a layer of black fog.
Yesseca could not speak for a moment.
She was confused.
What was going on?
Yesseca could not help but glance at Montez. "Montez, what's wrong?"
"Humph!" Montez snorted.
Montez replied with a heavy "Humph" and then turned his head away.
Yesseca found the situation more confusing.
She could only look at Tremaine helplessly.
Tremaine's eyes were cold and deep like blackholes which could suck everyone in.
Yesseca didn't want to look at such a gaze.
However, she had no choice.
She had to figure out why the father and son were so unhappy.
She had not offended them after all.
"Mr. Quartley?" Yesseca asked pitifully.
Tremaine's voice was very cold. "So this is what you meant when you said you had something to do tonight!"
When Tremaine spoke, Yesseca felt as if a breeze of cold air was blowing at her from the Artic, making her feel cold all over.
Montez was also a little mad and said, "Yesseca, you lied to me. You said that you had something to do tonight but you came back with a man at night. Just now, Daddy and I saw it. What's going on, Yesseca!"
Yesseca was at a loss of words for a moment.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So this was it.
She immediately explained, "I went to my sister's house for dinner tonight, but my sister couldn't send me back as she was pregnant. Hence, she asked her cousin to send me back. It's my first time meeting him."
"Really?" Montez looked at Yesseca with suspicion.
Yesseca lifted her right hand. "I swear it's true. When did I ever lie to you, Montez?"
Montez rolled his dark eyes.
A moment later, he pulled Tremaine's hand again. "Daddy, do you think it's true?"
Tremaine coldly glanced at Montez and said, "Don't you have a brain?"
Montez was dumbfounded.
He felt wronged.
His daddy was too vicious. He was really unlucky.
"Mr. Quartley, you can't talk to Montez like that."
Yesseca couldn't help but say.
It didn't matter if Tremaine was mean when he talked to her, but how could he speak to his son with such a sharp tongue?
Tremaine ignored Yesseca.
He took Montez's hand and was about to leave.
Montez looked back at Yesseca pitifully as he walked out.
That meant that Montez didn't want to leave either, but he had no choice but to follow his father.
After a few steps, Tremaine suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Yesseca. "Come over for dinner tomorrow."
After that, Tremaine strode away.
